A great piece of elegant kitchenalia.\u003cbr\u003e\n\"France is as near as your wine shop\"\u003cbr\u003e\nDimensions: 11 in x 27 in (28 cm x 69 cm)\u003cbr\u003e\nCondition: rough edges, see photos. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrench wine is produced all throughout France and is one of the largest wine producers in the world. French wine traces its history to the 6th century BCE, with many of France's regions dating their wine-making history to Roman times. The wines produced range from expensive wines sold internationally to modest wines usually only seen within France such as the Margnat wines of the post war period.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo concepts central to the better French wines are the notion of terroir, which links the style of the wines to the locations where the grapes are grown and the wine is made, and the Appellation d'origine contrôlée (AOC) system, replaced by the Appellation d'Origine Protégée (AOP) system in 2012. Appellation rules closely define which grape varieties and winemaking practices are approved for classification in each of France's several hundred geographically defined appellations, which can cover regions, villages or vineyards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrance is the source of many grape varieties (such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Pinot noir, Sauvignon blanc, Syrah) that are now planted throughout the world, as well as wine-making practices and styles of wine that have been adopted in other producing countries. Although some producers have benefited in recent years from rising prices and increased demand for prestige wines from Burgundy and Bordeaux, competition from New World wines has contributed to a decline in the domestic and international consumption of French wine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause of the age of these posters, there are areas of wear and tear, particularly on the edges. I have done my best to take photos where they are torn or stained. The good news is that when framed, the tears press up well against glass, and edges can be hidden by mats. Any wear picked up from years are part of the vintage charm. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen framed these colourful and detailed posters, with vibrant colours can become a centre piece for any room, to remind us of a simpler time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese posters are sent as unframed. They will be delivered in a cardboard tube for protection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSee the FAQ for more information on shipping, tracking and insurance options.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lampposted","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57206265708931,"sku":"LU1LT","price":40.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0986\/8538\/7139\/files\/il_fullxfull.7012078899_8axq.jpg?v=1768970064","url":"https:\/\/lampposted.com\/products\/1970s-wines-of-france-poster-types-of-84765","provider":"Lampposted","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
